The frustrating is actually Lucas has created this fan rift between which version you love more, where it never had to get like this.
What's worse is the desired situation actually did happen, however briefly. There was that window of time, maybe over a year, where you could walk into Tower records and the 97 lasers and the 95s both sat there on the shelf, no big deal. Somehow, the world didn't end and the precious Star Wars brand was not hurt.
